the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of telephone-based support for the metabolic control of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.
a pragmatic study was conducted in two groups, called G1 (n=36) and G2 (n=27), at a health unit from the countryside of São Paulo state. Patients in G1 group received telephone support over four months, through 16 telephone contacts with educational material; for the G2 group the educational material was mailed.
significant differences were found. The G1 group showed a reduction of the parameters of fasting glucose, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In G2 group a modest reduction was noted in some parameters, with no significant difference.
telephone support was effective to deliver patient education to the diabetic elderly, leading to the reduction of fasting blood glucose. This, combined with other strategies, can contribute to reduce glycated hemoglobin (NCT 01972412).
本研究旨在评估电话支持对老年糖尿病患者代谢控制的效果。
在圣保罗州农村的一个健康单位对两组进行了一项实用研究，分别称为G1组（n = 36）和G2组（n = 27）。G1组患者在四个月内接受电话支持，通过16次电话联系并提供教育材料；G2组则通过邮寄方式提供教育材料。
发现了显著差异。G1组的空腹血糖参数以及收缩压和舒张压均有所降低。G2组的一些参数有适度降低，但无显著差异。
电话支持有效地为老年糖尿病患者提供了患者教育，导致空腹血糖降低。这与其他策略相结合，有助于降低糖化血红蛋白（NCT 01972412）。
